lyrics

I’ve got my head heavy and I can’t look back
Mr. “yeah I’m ready” as the lights go black. Listen,
I don’t know if I’m’a strike no match in the heart of anybody but I can’t cry on that, no.
I’m old and too cold for a change
Keep on writin’ these old songs for no plays
I just hope no road dogs from old days listen to my songs when old throat meets cold blade
Somethin we yearn for but don’t say
Cuz if we ignore it maybe it’ll go away
Listen to me just drone on like Cold Play if you told the younger me I’d recoil like “no way”
But life has a way of dickin’ ya down, draggin ya round, through the night then givin’ ya day
And it’s funny after the shit don’t change you realize that you are better off with all of the rain

Why’d you have to go to such lengths to escape my arms?
I can’t figure it out.

Yo Honestly I too often wallow my regrets
Callin myself out as if the ball in my neck
Is gonna gather all the harm I did and somehow correct It, yeah it’s stupid but I do it cuz it puts me in check, I’m fine.
Baby don’t leave me hangin I tried
The scenes that just keep re-playin are getting tired
I just wanna keep on dreamin’ But the need to keep eatin’ is a greed-filled demon. I’m a
Cold hitter, old heart that don’t stop.
Love for my fuckin’ friends, but where does that start?
I got lots and lots of hodge-podged parts jammed slots that make Flaw this young old fart
With these skills he should hold for some smart thing he don’t know so out pours this half-assed art
Baby just run run, just run far, I’m sorry that your songs just came once you were long gone.

All I can ask is you stay
A Minute more
We can finish up
You ain’t in to nothin’ else.

Just don’t quit on us
There’s nothin for ya
The world don’t care, it don’t quit until it whores ya
There’s nothin more
You don’t believe it but it’s true
Let’s just chill for a minute even two
And you will see what was right here in front of you. Somethin’ better than anything you were gonna do. Far from perfect but the best thing and I can prove it
Just give it a lil’ while
And you’ll see
I was tellin the truth, the whole time while
You lied to me
Time is fleeting at the same tempo
Your heart is beating
And it’s slower every day
Remember that
Later gator
